First time Moms or even experienced moms get very concerned about how to prevent injury when their baby fall. While it is important to keep your baby safe at all times, the products to focus on, should be those that you use around your house not on your baby. Does that make sense? In essence I mean whatever product you decide to buy, should be used to secure places around your homes not on your child’s body.


Let’s talk about the baby head cushion or walking pillow. We get quite a number of enquiries about this product, but we don’t sell them due to the potential safety hazard. It is meant to be carried on the back, and the top part is supposedly to protect the back of the head. This essentially throws off the baby’s center of gravity. 

In essence, when your baby carries this product on their back, they feel heavier at the top than on their legs, which should actually be the other way round. 

Scientifically, the lower part of their body is supposed to support their weight as they learn to walk. Adding this product to the upper part of their body means that you have now made the lower part of their body lighter than the upper part. This alone can lead to falls and severe injury. If the fall is not witnessed, they may get entangled in the strap of the walking pillow & potentially suffocate. 


If you’re worried about falling and hitting the back of their head, you may consider wearing the one that looks like a soft helmet. Pediatricians will tell you that this is not even necessary, except of course you don’t safe proof essential parts of your home.

In conclusion, the walking head cushion isn’t necessary. Share this with your friends and families & remember that you can buy safety gates and accessories here.
